I have a file watcher windows service that moves a dropped file from folder A to folder B. File movement in this setup was successful, but when I shared the same folder and drop a file using the shared path, I always get an error indicating The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. Do note that I also tried accessing the shared path on the server itself and encountered the same error when dropping files. The event I use is FileSystemWatcher.Changed.
